WHAT IS HERNIA REPAIR SURGERY?

When fatty tissue or an organ pushes through a weak spot in the nearby connective tissue or muscle wall, it causes Hernia! Typically, hernias don't heal on their own. They become larger. They occasionally cause life-threatening consequences. Because of this, doctors generally advise surgery. The condition that occurs more often in the abdominal wall is an inguinal hernia. 

 

TYPES OF HERNIA

 

INGUINAL HERNIAS

It occurs when the intestine pokes out through one of the two inguinal canals, which are openings in the lower abdominal wall. According to research, 3% of women and 27% of men, respectively, will experience an inguinal hernia at some point in their life.

 

FEMORAL HERNIAS

It occurs in the upper thigh or outer groin area in deeper passages called femoral canals. Compared to inguinal hernias, they are far less prevalent, and women are much more likely to get them. If they are not fixed, they also carry a higher risk of problems.

 

VENTRAL HERNIAS 

It occurs at the opening of the muscles of the abdomen. There are three types of Ventral Hernias:

  • Epigastric hernias: occurs above the naval area
  • Incisional Hernias: It causes by a weakening of the abdominal muscle which results from an incision that can be made during any previous abdominal surgery. 
  • Umbilical Hernias: Most frequently, this issue affects newborns in the naval region, especially those who are delivered preterm. By that time, this kind of hernia typically closes on its own. This type of hernia is also seen in adults.

Symptoms of Hernia

  • Noticeable lump or bulge
  • Discomfort or pain
  • Heartburn
  • Acid reflux
  • Regurgitation of food or liquids

 

BENEFITS OF HERNIA LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY

In this type of surgery, the abdomen is inflated with a harmless gas under general anesthesia. Due to this, the surgeon will be able to take a better look at your internal organs. A few small incisions are made on the abdomen and a thin tube with a tiny camera on the end is inserted inside. This allows the surgeon to get perfect images to repair the hernia with mesh. 
• Faster recovery
• Patients are back to a normal routine within a week

 

HERNIA SURGERY RISKS

• Infection of the wound
• Blood clots
• Pain near the surgery area
